Early A A/C how well does it work
One of the predominate factors in the superb operation and functions of the old RV-2 York compressors was the freon : R12 , the REAL stuff ! None of this junk 134a sh*t !
With a properly-functioning R-12 charged system , you could hop into a car that's been sitting in direct sunlight , in the basin of Death Valley , in mid-August ( 120 degree
temps ), and crank the a/c , and that car's cabin would be meat locker cold in a minute !!
The downside to those old twin-piston pumpers ? They drew A LOT of power , up-to 50 h.p. !!
Early , early Chrysler a/c setups used R-22 , which is commercial-grade gas ; city buses use this , too .
